Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of rail flaw detection, and in particular to a rail weld flaw detection instrument. Background Technology

[0002] Rail weld flaw detection is a crucial step in ensuring railway transportation safety. It primarily aims to detect potential defects at rail welds, such as cracks, porosity, and slag inclusions, thereby preventing track breakage or other safety accidents caused by these issues.

[0003] Ultrasonic testing is one of the most commonly used methods for inspecting rail welds. It involves sending ultrasonic waves into the rail weld and receiving the reflected waveforms to analyze whether there are any defects inside the weld. Ultrasonic testing has advantages such as high sensitivity and ease of operation.

[0004] Traditional ultrasonic flaw detectors typically involve applying a coupling agent to the rail and then slowly sliding the probe connected to the ultrasonic flaw detector across the rail surface to perform the flaw detection operation. However, because the rail is relatively low, workers usually need to squat down to operate the equipment, making the flaw detection process inconvenient and requiring improvement. Utility Model Content

[0025] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0026] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, a rail weld flaw detection instrument includes a slide 1, a handle 2, an ultrasonic detector 3, and a detection probe 4.

[0027] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the slide block 1 is C-shaped and fastened to the rail, and is slidably connected to the rail. Several balls 11 are rotatably connected to the inner side wall of the slide block 1 to reduce friction and make the sliding detection process of the slide block 1 smoother.

[0028] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the handle 2 is tilted on the slide 1 and is for the worker to grip. The handle 2 is rotatably connected to the slide 1, and the slide 1 is provided with a locking mechanism 5 for fixing the handle 2. The locking mechanism 5 includes a locking plate 51 and a locking rod 52. The locking plate 51 is arc-shaped and passes through the handle 2. The locking rod 52 passes through the handle 2. The locking plate 51 is provided with a row of locking holes 53 for the locking rod 52 to pass through.

[0029] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the ultrasonic detector 3 is used to analyze the data, the detection probe 4 is set at the tail end of the slide 1 and is used to contact the surface of the rail, and the detection probe 4 is connected to the ultrasonic detector 3 through a wire.

[0030] When it is necessary to inspect the weld seams of the rail, the inspection probe 4 is installed on the slide 1, and then the slide 1 is fastened onto the rail, with the inspection probe 4 in contact with the rail surface. Then, the handle 2 is rotated until it reaches a comfortable angle. The locking rod 52 passes through the corresponding locking hole 53 on the handle 2 and the locking plate 51 to adjust and fix the angle position of the handle 2.

[0031] Then, the rail can be cleaned and a coupling agent applied. The control handle 2 then moves the slide 1 horizontally, causing the detection probe 4 to move synchronously, thus performing rail flaw detection. This allows workers to control the detection probe 4 to slide on the rail surface without having to squat on the ground, making the detection process more convenient and improving its ease of use.

[0032] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, a support frame 6 is detachably connected to the front end of the slide 1. The slide 1 is provided with a tube 12 for the lower end of the support frame 6 to be inserted into. The lower end of the support frame 6 is provided with a hook 61 that passes through the tube 12.

[0033] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, a cleaning brush 62 and an applicator brush 63 are arranged sequentially from front to back on the support frame 6. An end cap 64 is provided on the support frame 6, and a replenishment bottle 65 is threadedly connected to the end cap 64. An outlet tube 66 is embedded inside the applicator brush 63 on the end cap 64.

[0034] Before flaw detection is required, the lower end of the support frame 6 can be inserted into the tube 12 on the slide 1 and the support frame 6 can be fixed with the hook 61. Then, the replenishment bottle 65 is screwed into the end cap 64, and the slide 1 is fastened to the rail so that the cleaning brush 62 and the smearing brush 63 come into contact with the surface of the rail.

[0035] Then, control the slide block 1 to slide, first use the cleaning brush 62 to automatically clean the surface of the rail, then allow the coupling agent in the replenishment bottle 65 to flow into the coating brush 63 along the liquid outlet pipe 66, and evenly apply the coupling agent to the rail, realizing automatic cleaning of the rail surface and automatic application of coupling agent, making the detection process more convenient and improving the convenience of detection.
